Chapter 28: Complication

Night's POV

"So, what's our next plan?" I replied.

"Well, we need to find intel on the Elshard." Blaze replied. The door opened, it was Mizuki, Kosen Ju, and Jay.

"Oh Night, you're back!" Jay replied.

"Good to see you again." Kosen replied.

"Welcome back..." Mizuki replied, silently.

"Hey Mizuki, are you alright?" I replied. I got closer to look at her face. Her face started turning red.

"Huh, Mizuki? Are you feeling alright?" I replied. I then put my hand and placed on her forehead. She then slapped me, sending me flying to the wall.

"EHHHHHH!?" The whole group shouted. I was near the wall, I crashed into and shouted.

"Hey, what the heck was that for?!" I replied.

"Never, touch me without my permission. I am the Princess of Mizu!" She replied. She then exit.

"Jeez, what's with her?" I replied.

"Well, for the past 6 months you were gone. She began to started have a cold attitude." Nyte replied.

"Now that you mention it. She looks different, her hairs longer and she wearing formal clothes." I replied.

"Well, I sort of taught her a few moves about ice and she eventually created her own technique." Nyte replied.

"So she's an ice user?" I replied.

They all nodded her head.

"Hmm, guess she's going to be using a lot of water-based magic. Huh guys?" I replied.

I then stood up and wiped the pieces of crack floor off my attire and headed to Mizuki's room. I knocked on her door.

"Who is it?" She replied.

"Its me Night." I replied.

"Go away!" She replied. I then replied in a stubborn tone.

"If you don't open the door in three seconds. I'm going to break it open." I replied. I then started counting.

"Idiot, what do you think you're doing?!" She replied.

"One."

"Just leave me alone!" She replied.

"Two"

"If you kicked that door open, you'll regret it!" She replied.

"Three!" I then kicked the door open, and she opened up a book and replied,

"Hell Freezer!" She replied. The floor started to freeze, and when it touched me. I instantly froze. Blaze, then entered.

"What happened?!" He replied.

"The stupid idiot, bashed open my door. So I simply took defense. Get him out of here." She replied.

Blaze, then carried me to the mansion hot springs and threw me in. The ice, then melted. I then replied,

"What's up, with her?" I replied.

"Ever since, you left. She started to became colder." Blaze replied.

"She barely talk to anybody, ever since she obtain the ice grimlor." He replied.

"The Ice Grimlor?" I replied.

"Its a spellbook, that amplifies a user's water magic. Specifically for ice-user." He replied.

"So its my fault." I replied, depressed.

"Hey don't get beat up. We know you care for everyone, so don't get upset. She probably has a good reason." Blaze replied. I then stood up, my clothes were wet. I then took off my attire and worn a casual grey top, with jean. I then headed outside, the sun was about to set. I then heard someone singing. It was Sora, she was singing. I then continued, to watch her sing. She then noticed me.

"Oh Night, I didn't notice you there." She replied. I then sat down, next to her.

"You alright, I heard Mizuki froze you." She replied.

"I'm alright. Its her i'm worried about." I replied. Sora, then handed me canned coffee.

"Do you like her?" She replied. I then replied,

"Of course I do. She's my companion and friend." I replied. I then took another drink of my coffee.

"No, I mean do you like her in an attractive way." She replied, I then spitted out my coffee.

"What are you talking about!?" I replied blushing.

"Well, you wouldn't understand. You're just a child." She replied.

"I"m 17! You're the same age as me!" I replied.

"Just because, we're both the same age. Doesn't difference us, from our maturity." She replied.

I then stayed silent. After a while, I then replied,

"I'm only concerned for my allies. Besides, I've never fell in love with someone before." I replied.

"What, really! You've never knew what love felt like?!" She replied.

"Of course not, when I was young. I focused on training, Noona tells me to take breaks and do some other stuff. But I focused on swordplay more, and socialize and help my village. Nothing more." I replied.

"Come on, theres gotta be someone that you had feeling's for?" She replied.

"Nope, never actually loved someone." I replied.

"What about Ara?" She replied.

"She's my sister. Of course, we have sibling love." I replied.

"Meaning, you two get along together?" She replied.

"Of course." I replied.

"Then let me teach you about love. We start tonite." Sora replied.

"Its isn't worth my time, I'm going inside." I replied. I then headed inside the mansion, and went in my room. I then lay down in my bed, thinking to myself.

"Do I really like Mizuki?" I thought. My face turned red, I then shaked my head and heard the dinner bell. I didn't want to eat tonite, so I left a note in the front of my door. I then continued to think. I then heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." I replied. The door opened, it was Mizuki.

"Oh, hey. Something you need?" I replied. She then grabbed my right arm, it had frostbite on it.

"Oh yeah. Don't worry about it." I replied.

"My frostbites, aren't regular ones. They're very poisonous." She replied.

"What really?!" I replied surprised.

"Calm down, it isn't serious. Just let me mend it." She demanded. I then listen and follow on what she said. After some time, she finish fixing my arm.

"Well, this is great, I get bandages in both my arms." I replied. She then grabbed my right arm and removed my bandages, showing my cursed markings.

"They look much stronger." She replied.

"Yeah, you could say. I accepted them." I replied. She then slapped me, but light enough that I wouldn't fly across the room. I replied, in a calm voice.

"What was that for?" I replied.

"Your and idiot, you know that! Making all of us worry!" She replied crying.

I then looked at her, as she continued. I then replied,

"I'm sorry..." I replied. She then hugged me. I then slowly hugged her back.

"Idiot...don't ever worry us again." She replied.

"Alright." He replied. It lasted for hours and after awhile, she then replied.

"Sorry, about freezing you." She replied.

"Its not a big deal. I suffered more than this." I replied. She then looked at me, with her pure blue eyes. I then blushed a bit.

"Well you should get going, the others might be suspicious and might get the wrong idea." I replied. She then noticed and replied,

"Oh right, I'll see you tomorrow then." She exited my room, I then locked the door and replied,

"Man what is up with me." I replied. Putting one of my hands up my face.

"Why was my heart-beating fast that time. When I saw Mizuki?" I thought. I then shake the thought, out of my head and headed to bed. It seemed like nothing to worry about for me.
